2g eagle drivetrain problem

[poweradeTSI]

this is the the story i replaced my clutch slave and after an hour of driving my pedal stiffens up a bit and at a stop was parking my car i shifted in reverse and the tranny was having a hard time going in to the gear like it wasn'tengaged all the way and it would lock me in gear
any suggestions

This sounds like a problem I had and nothing but an engine rebuild came out of it. I had an act 2600 clutch and it engaged really close to the floor so I adjusted it but I didnt check to see if it still functioned properly (I just moved it off the floor and called it done because it was freezing outside) But anyway the rod in the master cylinder was in too far causing the clutch cylinders to hold pressure and have a stiff clutch and inconsistant engagement points which paired up with the 2600 completely destroyed my thrust bearing in a matter of 2 days. So you should re-adjust your clutch master cylinder and bleed the system again.

well cant be my engine because its already rebuilt so i should try adjusting the clutch master.

I would adjust it and rebleed it. Sometimes air gets caught up in that restrictor solenoid on the 2g's and causes problems.

i found out it was pedal pump upany one knowhowto fix it.

2G Pedal "Pump Up"

If you are fighting an inconsistent pedal adjustment in a 2G, adjust the upper pedal stop adjuster so that you gain additional free play at the top of the pedal travel. If this is your problem, you will notice that the pedal suddenly gets very tight and the release point will suddenly move up a lot, this is the cause.

2Gs need free play at the top of the pedal travel. If it is close to no travel and right on the edge, then it pumps up. Only 2Gs have a relief valve in the master cylinder that needs to be uncovered so fluid can go back into the reservoir on the clutch release. If not, it gets tighter and tighter and tighter. Then it may slowly relieve the pressure and it is back to normal. Just a 2G thing. You need more free play at the top of the pedal travel.
Left unchecked, the pedal will pump up more and more. The clutch will begin to slip since it is as if you are driving around with your foot on the clutch pedal. Also it plays hell on the crankshaft thrust bearings. The constant pressure pushes the clutch release bearing onto the clutch and flywheel. When centrifugal force throws the clutch release fingers outwards, they make additional pressure on the thrust bearings of the crank. This is an additional factor in short lived crankshaft release bearings and an additional potential cause for crankwalk.

Here is what RRE has on pedal pump up.
